  Episode 37| From D3 to D2 with Mateo Santos

  Mar 2, 202632 min

  Episode 37 of The On Deck Podcast features a special guest and former D’Youville teammate, Mateo Santos — my 7th-floor neighbour and day-one Spartan from the 2019–2020 season. We talk about his journey from joining a D3 program to graduating from a D2 school, the culture shift that came with it, and whether he’d change anything about his career as a C/1B. Mateo shares what people on the outside don’t understand about the college baseball grind, the toughest battles in intersquads, and the lessons the game taught him over four years. Of course, we couldn’t let him leave without talking Red Sox baseball and his thoughts on the team’s new additions heading into this season. A fun, honest conversation about growth, loyalty, and sticking it out when things don’t go as planned. Don't forget to like and subscribe!

  Episode 35| Who’s Getting Paid? Hitter Free Agency With AJ Rowe

  Dec 22, 20251h 39m

  On this episode of The On Deck Podcast , AJ Rowe joins me to cover the full spectrum of MLB hitter free agency, from star bats and everyday contributors to depth pieces and bounce-back candidates. We break down how players like Cedric Mullins, Pete Alonso, Kyle Schwarber, Ha-Seong Kim, Adolis García, and Jorge Polanco fit into their new teams, looking at roles, versatility, defence, and lineup impact rather than just the contract numbers. Whether it’s platoon options, injury insurance, or upside plays, this episode dives into how teams are attacking the market in very different ways—and which moves could quietly matter most this season.
